Release emotions:

When children exercise, their bodies will secrete hormones, which can bridge emotions. Appropriate physical exercise can help children relieve stress, improve emotions, and reduce anxiety and other stress.

After exercise, children will consume a certain amount of energy, which means that children's bodies need a certain amount of rest to recover, so that children can fall asleep more easily at night and enter deep sleep faster.

Exercise coordination ability:

When children are doing sports, they will mobilize the bones and muscles of the whole body, and need to use various postures to complete it, which can exercise children's coordination and balance abilities to a certain extent.
